O hard at work…improving his hacker game.
Vacation is when he goes back to the WH.
He really deserves this vacation. Nobody blamed Bush when he was on a long vacation even though Al Queda had declared war and the CIA had warned that a large attack was coming. Oddly, Bush never paid any kind of political price for his blunders.
People didn’t expect much from George Bush because he was (like my grandparents used to say) “special.” So a lot of people cut him slack. I used to feel sorry for him. But he wasn’t fundamentally violent and mean-spirited like Trump is.
Klastri, You are a comedian. You make me laugh.
@ allie
What has O accomplished that benefited a MAJORITY of Americans?
allie?
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock…
Where was this joke on 9/11 leaving Hilliary to see to it that 4 people including the Ambassador was killed.
Go golfing right after he stabs Israel in the back.
On 9-11, George Bush was reading a children’s book to kids, when the Presidential Daily Briefing that he ignored stating ‘Osama bin Ladin Determined to Attack the USA” was acted upon by our enemies. He was president on 9-11. No attack has taken place on our soil during President Obama’s 8 years. I hope your Mr. Trump is as successful.
ahh, Bill decided to not to take out Osama prior to 9-11. If only Bill… 9-11 may not have come about.

June 1, Little Rock, Arkansas: Abdulhakim Muhammed, a Muslim convert from Memphis, Tennessee, is charged with shooting two soldiers outside a military recruiting center. One is killed and the other is wounded. In a January 2010 letter to the judge hearing his case, Muhammed asked to change his plea from not guilty to guilty, claimed ties to al-Qaeda, and called the shooting a jihadi attack “to fight those who wage war on Islam and Muslims.”
Dec. 25: A Nigerian man on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit attempted to ignite an explosive device hidden in his underwear. The explosive device that failed to detonate was a mixture of powder and liquid that did not alert security personnel in the airport. The alleged bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, told officials later that he was directed by the terrorist group Al Qaeda. The suspect was already on the government’s watch list when he attempted the bombing; his father, a respected Nigerian banker, had told the U.S. government that he was worried about his son’s increased extremism.

Afterwards, the two men carjack a SUV and tell the driver that they had set off the explosions at the marathon. Police pursue the vehicle into Watertown. During the shootout, a MBTA officer is shot and one of the suspects, identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, is killed. A suicide vest is found on his body. The other suspect, Dzhokhar A.

I forgot 1 more…
Nov. 5, 2009 Fort Hood shooting — Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, killed 13 and injured more than 30 people during a shooting rampage in Texas. In seven pages of handwritten thoughts sent to Fox News, Hasan referred to himself as a “Soldier of Allah,” and appeared to renounce his American citizenship.
Fore Left!!! Fortunately for the homeowners who live along the golf course, most of their homes are on the right side of the fairway. If you ain’t right, then you ain’t right. Bwahahahaha!
Tell us his golf scores; we all could use a good laugh.
O would scratch on a bad day….under par on average. (cough) (gag)
From Washington Times, “For the last time, taxpayers are paying for a Hawaiian Christmas vacation for President Obama and his family, an annual luxury getaway that has cost the Treasury easily more than $35 million over eight years…”
Hey golf’s almost exclusively with Bobby Titcomb while in Hawaii. My guess is they are both on the down low. I can’t wait until Obama leaves office and the books start being written.
I wonder if Barry accompanies Bobby during strolls in Waikiki and Hotel Street?
Kinda like when his granpappy used to take little Barry downtown to Smeet Street bars and introduce him to the admitted bisexual, and communist Frank M, Davis.
Like the GLADE Lounge?
All the way with Prince Hanalei.
I won’t go there :X
Whew! When does he takes time out to relax and smell the roses? Mind, body and soul need some peace, meditation and simply a period to daydream. It helps focus to improve ones self worth. It is also a time of reflections of how ones life affect others. A period of contemplation and appreciation of the world around us. Give yourself some aloha Mr. President, you deserve it!
